• HOT TOPIC: Waiting for a "Rosa Parks" Moment
  • We all agree the current education system (thinking nationally) is broken. There seems to be a growing discontent that in many respects parallels the Civil Rights movement. Ti seems we are just waiting for a "Rosa Parks" moment that will serve as a catalyst to broad systematic change. What do you think that moment will be? How far away is it?
  • Links to make you think:
  • "What the US Can't Learn From Finland"
  • "Opting Out"
